15 And in this confidence I was minded to come vnto you before, that you might haue a second benefit:
16 And to passe by you into Macedonia, and to come againe out of Macedonia vnto you, and of you to bee brought on my way toward Iudea.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I vse lightnesse? or the things that I purpose, doe I purpose according to the flesh, that with mee there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18 But as God is true, our word toward you, was not yea and nay.
19 For the Sonne of God Iesus Christ, who was preached among you by vs, euen by me, and Syluanus and Timotheus, was not Yea, and Nay, but in him, was yea.
20 For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and in him Amen, vnto the glory of God by vs.
21 Now hee which stablisheth vs with you, in Christ, and hath anoynted vs, is God,
22 Who hath also sealed vs, and giuen the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Moreouer, I call God for a record vpō my soule, that to spare you I came not as yet vnto Corinth.
24 Not for that we haue dominion ouer your faith, but are helpers of your ioy: for by faith ye stand.
Chap 2
1 But I determined this with my selfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauinesse.
2 For if I make you sorie, who is hee then that maketh mee glad, but the same which is made sorie by me.
3 And I wrote this same vnto you, least when I came, I should haue sorrow from them of whome I ought to reioyce, hauing confidence in you all, that my ioy is the ioy of you all.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote vnto you with many teares, not that you should bee grieued, but that yee might knowe the loue which I haue more abundantly vnto you.
